Some famous wines have an alcohol content of 53% instead of 52%. What are the possible reasons?

Netizens who really understand liquor should know that most liquor is actually 52%, while the alcohol content of some famous wines is 53%. If some wines do not reach the classic level, the taste will be greatly reduced when drinking, and the value of the corresponding liquor will also decline. Therefore, many people will deliberately choose classic wines when drinking. Although the price of this wine will be a little more expensive, it tastes good.

12987 Most Luzhou-flavor liquor is generally 52% of this liquor, mostly from Sichuan. There is also a part of Maotai-flavor liquor, which is 53%, and these liquors are basically from Guizhou. The general production method of Maotai-flavor liquor is 12987. The so-called 12987 is actually a production cycle every year, followed by two feeding, nine cooking, eight fermentation and seven wine extraction. The third distillation should take 1 round of wine, and the alcohol content is about 57%.

Repeated distillation needs to take the second round of wine during the second distillation, and the alcohol content will be controlled at about 54.5%. The fifth distillation needs three rounds of wine, and the alcohol content will be controlled at 53.5%. In the sixth round of distillation, the fourth round of wine should be taken, at which time the alcohol content reaches 52.5%. The alcohol content of the seventh distillation is still 52.5%, and the alcohol content of the eighth distillation will become 52%.

The ninth distillation of wine, take the seventh round. The alcohol content obtained this time is still 52%. This is seven times in the brewing process, and then the base wine will be synthesized according to different proportions. The alcohol concentration of base wine synthesized by certain means is about 54% and 54.5%, and it needs to be aged for three years after synthesis. During these three years, the wine body may change naturally, and both volatilization and aging will lead to the decrease of alcohol concentration, so it will generally drop to 53%.
